Suggested modification to XMonad.Actions.WindowsGo.runOrRaiseNext #504

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Best explained by an example:
Currently:
I have 2 instances of chrome running:
Chrome1
(runRaiseNext Pidgin)
Pidgin
(runRaiseNext Chrome)
Chrome2
(runRaiseNext Chrome)
Chrome1

Proposed Change:
I have 2 instances of chrome running:
Chrome1
(runRaiseNext Pidgin)
Pidgin
(runRaiseNext Chrome)
Chrome1
(runRaiseNext Chrome)
Chrome2

I think the current behavior is not ideal, as it makes it difficult to swap 
between a particular window of an application and any other window. Very simply 
put my suggestion is NOT to cycle to the next window if the window we are 
coming from is not an instance of the window type.
